Mt. Washburn

Yellowstone's Mt. Washburn after an early snowstorm.

 

"If you’re looking for a spectacular, moderate-to-difficult peak hike with 360-degree views, head to Mount Washburn in the northwestern part of Yellowstone National Park. It’s between Tower Fall and Canyon Village. What makes Mount Washburn so spectacular is the trail tops off at 10,219 feet, is lined with incredible wildflowers, especially in July, and offers breathtaking views from its summit.

 

When you reach the top, you’ll find a fire lookout tower that has interpretive exhibits and restrooms inside. The fire lookout is a great place to take shelter from the wind, if it’s gusty while you’re there. Beyond, you’ll see Yellowstone Lake, the Absaroka mountain range and more. On a clear day, you can see between 20 to 50 miles." yellowstonepark.com

 

Probably not tho on this day. Might need some snowshoes.

 

Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully not too hot.
